Craig William Hansen (CRD # 5102425, Registered Representative, Fords, New Jersey) submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent in which he was fined $5,000, ordered to pay $1,000, plus interest, in restitution to a customer, and suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for one month. The fine and restitution must be paid either immediately upon Hansen’s reassociation with a FINRA member firm following his suspension, or prior to the filing of any application or request for relief from any statutory disqualification, whichever is earlier. Without admitting or denying the findings, Hansen consented to the described sanctions and to the entry of findings that he engaged in a private securities transaction for compensation, and failed to provide prior written notice to, or obtain prior written approval from his member firm. The suspension was in effect from September 21, 2009, through October 20, 2009. (FINRA Case # 2009017804701)
